My dad worked for IBM, so we had one of the earlier home computers before we ever had any sort of console. I think I played it on a 5150
Home console: Either Combat or Pac-man for the 2600.
Arcade: I have no idea. I'm guessing Pac-man or Space Invaders.
"One of the ways I gauge a DS game is by recharges. "...Tycho (Penny Arcade)
The way first game must be some Game & Watch game (or some LCD game). Remember it from kindergarden
The couple of first; Warlords (2600), Mario Bros (C64) and Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SMS).
In arcades: My local Kentucky pool hall got one of the original yellow Pong cabinets. Played that, and the Gunfight machine right next to it.
At home: Coleco Telstar system with gun attachment. Played tennis, handball, jai alai, hockey, skeet- and target-shooting. Of the choices, I'm certain my brother and I played Pong as soon as it was out of the box and hooked up.

SMB/Duck Hunt, Christmas 1988. I was five.
Either Donkey or Decathlon. Both on an IBM XT. Donkey was a very simple game, where a donkey would slowly walk up a road while cars were approaching it. You just had to steer him left or right to avoid the cars.
I have no idea what version of Decathlon I used to play. I recently replayed the Activision (or Microsoft?) version for the XT, but it's not the same.
Strangely enough, shortly after I started playing King's Quest and Larry I, although I didn't speak English :-) And it took some time until I realised what Larry was all about...
console: I remember playing combat and getting my ass handed to me at my cousins house. I do believe around the same time(1981 or 1982) I also was playing on a dedicated pong system that my dad got from Radio Shack.

First game I remember playing was Ladybug on Colecovision.
First arcade game, I'm almost positive, was Donkey Kong.
I still love both.
Odyseey 1
warlords and empire strikes back on the 2600
Space Invaders (arcade).
Myrtle Beach. July, 1979. At the pavillion.
I remember it like it was only a few hours ago....
My first home game was my sisters pong console before we got our Odyssey 2..
The first game I can recall playing was Tank in the arcade sometime in the 70s, probably 76 or 77. The Tank II cabinet on KLOV looks like what I remember.
Sometime later, I got to play the Space War arcade game. The Cinematronics stand up model looks like the one I remember. I loved playing the ship that looked like the Enterprise.
The game that really hooked me though was Space Encounters. That was the first game which had me going to 7-11 every day to play. My parents actually forbade me from going to 7-11 because of my obsession with this game.
Pac-Man, cocktail style, in my Uncle's bar. He propped me up on a bar stool and gave me a bowl full of quarters. Funny how nowadays I am addicted to both gaming and beer...hmmmm.
It was either Pong or Pac-Man, can't remember wich one I played first.
Either Combat, or Centipede coin-op, both with my dad.
Combat, Atari 2600, vs. my brother. It was 1986 (no, really), and I was 3. My brother was 13. Bastard slaughtered me every time. :-(
Specter (computer), Super Mario or Donkey Kong Country.
Cryptopsy!
